"Sampaoli said Germany have no superstars? Argentina have the best player in the world and couldn't win the World Cup. Teamwork wins you the trophy rather than individuals. I think Sampaoli had drunk a few glasses of red wine."

Jupp Heynckes might not be some super hyped genius tacticians who invent and innovate things but he sure knows how to use, adapt, and tweak tactics as needed. He does not underestimate opponents and always act with dignity. Bayern does not always treat him right but he still loves and respects the club. No matter where we will be in the end of this season, I am just going to enjoy having him this season.

I don't think he's the only one. Pep made Bayern click before injuries, bad decisions and wasting of chances killed our team.

Ancelotti on the other hand, was a failure, it was like he wasn't even trying to fix the sinking ship, like he was on vacation or something, never seemed to care.

That's the problem though isn't it? Although I believe Bayern would have won the CL had not Muller missed that penalty and you missed a tonne of chances against Atletico in the SF in Pep's last season.

Looks like Heynckes experience, authority and status at Bayern is what makes the players respect him more than anyone else.

Kind of like with Pep at Barcelona.

Who will be able to replace that? Surely your players ought to do better as it's not like Pep and Ancelotti are total bums. If only one man got the winning formula and the total respect of your players then something must be wrong.

I don't think it's like that. Respect is built, Ancelotti failed more because he wasn't interested in building anything, just maintaining a acceptable level of success and performance, but the aging and relative thin squad couldn't handle this, and it was clear that some players were lacking a fire in their eyes, the pure lack of concentration showed that. When the Manager doesn't care, that reflect on the players.

Every manager is special in their own way, but Jupp is not irreplaceable, another great coach will come, that's how life goes.

But the main villain in the club is the conservative as fuck Uli Hoeness.

I agree about 2016. Had Muller scored that penalty i am pretty sure we would have gone all the way.

Real were nothing special that year. A final to forget in CL. With a little bit of luck Atletico would have won it.

We were phenomenal against them in the second leg. But you cannt miss from the spot in a game like that.

It took Müller a long time to get over that missed penalty. And thats understandable as he for the first time in Bayern went from hero to zero, it was in a CL SF, as you said if he scored there we would have crushed them.

When he missed i just knew it would bite us in the ass in the second half
